The Angels twice took five-run leads against the Yankees and kept New York from erasing the second one to put themselves one win away from the American League Championship Series. Garret Anderson led the way with five RBIs.

An early deficit didn't daunt the Yankees, who scored six unanswered runs over the fourth and fifth innings to take the lead. Six Yankees players notched two hits each, but the New York bullpen couldn't hold off the Angels' attack.
